Hello my friends! I'm just popping in to let you know that the latest freebie is available over on the Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog for all of our Freebie Fridayer fans!

Yesterday
it officially became Fall here in the northern hemisphere and to
celebrate this beautiful and colourful season's arrival, I have made you
a digi paper using a trio of leaves that Sandy offered up as
a freebie back in October of 2014. You can find both the original image AND the
paper you see below in the preview, by clicking HERE. The original image can also be found in the store HERE.

Here is a preview of the paper...

Another creation under the Scribble Doodle Designs
label! I coloured each of the leaves and then saved them separately so
that I could space them out evenly throughout the paper. This free paper
is six inches by six inches (1800 pixels x 1800 pixels)--the perfect
size for card making! It is in jpg format and published at 300 dpi.
Credits include: HG Designs;
Stachoo Scraps and of course, Scribbles Designs. As mentioned above, you can download it over on the challenge blog as today's Freebie Friday offering.

Don't forget to mark you calendars every Friday to head on over to the Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog to grab the latest freebie up for grabs. You can find the original image and the digi paper from September 23rd's postHERE.
It is a great way to add to your SD digi stamp collection and to your Scribble Doodles Designs collection. Don't
forget, that when you use an SD image on a project that you enter into
our monthly challenges, you get extra entries! That is a great
incentive to use one of Sandy's images.

About Me

Hi! My name is Lisa and welcome to my blog. Whether drawing, painting, cross-stitching, card making, or doing nail art, I've been 'creating' since I was knee high to a grasshopper. At the end of 2011, I really started getting interested in the world of card making and nail art. I knew that there were already a lot of creative card makers, digi stamp designers, and nail artists out there and I continue to learn a lot from them, but I needed a place to showcase my work so I could enter some challenges and as a result, created this blog in October of 2012.
I live in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. I am happily married to my college sweetheart and we have been married for over 27 years. We were never blessed with children so our 'babies' have always been cats. Currently, we have one female tabby named Marigold.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a blast!
